These Dessert Nachos feature a sweet, cinnamon sugar chip base, sweet white chocolate, and juicy peaches. Ready to eat in minutes, they’re a lightened-up snack full of textures and flavors to satisfy all your taste buds! 

You’ve probably had nachos, but we bet you’ve never had nachos like this before! A sweet take on traditional recipes, these dessert nachos are a go-to snack for us, especially during the summer months. 

With zero cooking required, they’re a great option when it’s too hot to be in the kitchen. Plus, you can easily mix and match the toppings to make them your own! And the kids love to load up their plates with all their favorite goodies. It’s a fun option for movie nights but is just as great for an after-school treat! 

What Are Dessert Nachos? 

Dessert nachos are exactly what they sound like – nachos made with sweet ingredients! For this recipe, we swap the tortilla chips for crisp cinnamon sugar chips. Then, instead of cheese and savory toppings, we add fresh fruit, chocolate, and nuts. 

The result is a combination of crisp textures and sweet flavors that no one can resist.

Ingredients You Need

Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions for this recipe. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details! 

• Cinnamon Pita Chips – We use Stacy’s Cinnamon Pita Chips and typically find these in the snack aisle of our local grocery store. Cinnamon Crunch PopCorners Chips also work really well and are a great lower-carb option! 
• Peaches – Fresh peaches are best, but canned peaches also work. Just be sure to drain any excess liquid. 
• Pecans – These add a nice crunch! Feel free to substitute chopped walnuts or almonds if desired. 
• White Chocolate Chips – Use dairy-free white chocolate chips if you need this recipe to be dairy-free. 

Chip Alternative

If you can’t find cinnamon sugar chips you like, you can make homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips instead! To do so, cut flour tortillas into triangles. Then, brush them with melted butter, and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.

Arrange the tortilla pieces on a baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or just until lightly golden. Allow them to cool completely, and assemble your nachos!

How to Make Dessert Nachos

1. Arrange. Spread the chips in a single layer between two plates or on one large platter. 
2. Melt the chocolate. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips for 1 minute in the microwave. 

Note: If the chocolate does not become melty and stirrable, add a small amount of coconut oil. 

3. Layer. Drizzle the white chocolate evenly over the chips. Then, arrange the sliced peaches on top. If desired, add another layer of chocolate drizzle. 
4. Top. Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans and whipped cream (and/or ice cream), and enjoy!

Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?

Unfortunately, this recipe is not great for making in advance, because the chips become soggy. However, if you want to prepare ahead of time, you can slice the peaches, and store them in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Sprinkle them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Then, you can layer your ingredients in minutes when you’re ready to eat!
